I'm printing a report direct to PDF for emailing purposes. It contains a number of RTF documents.
When I print the report on the screen, the RTF appears correctly, retaining the formatting I entered in the R:Base rich text editor. But when I print to PDF, I apparently have two options for encoding the RTF text: IMAGE: which converts the RTF to images inside the PDF. This preserves the formatting, but produces ginormous PDF files and means that the text in the PDF cannot be searched or selected. PLAINTEXT: which leaves the text as text (searchable and small file size) but eliminates all the formatting (bold, fonts, indents). I need the formatting (this is contractual material with multiple levels of indents) but what I really want is to simply have the RTF formatting encoded in the PDF as proper, formatted, PDF text. I assume this can't be done, since I don't see on option for it. Has anyone dealt with this issue? -- Larry
